Graduate students now have
one less spot on the Student Fee
Review Board.
Members of the SFRB voted
unanimously on Wednesday to
change its composition from four
undergraduate students and three
graduates to five undergraduates
and two graduates.
GPSA President and SFRB chair
Katie Richardson said the board
agreed to participate in mediation
when members of the group could
not agree on the change. She said
it was the first time mediation was
needed to iron out differences between ASUNM and GPSA.
“(ASUNM President Jaymie
Roybal) and I were mutually
committed from the beginning
to come to an agreeable solution
for both student populations,” she
said. “When we were unable to
come to a resolution on our own,
we voluntarily sought mediation.”
The Vice President of Student
Life office provided the mediation,
Richardson said.
Richardson said despite the loss
of graduate seats on the board, she
thinks the change will be beneficial
because GPSA representatives will
still have a strong voice.
“I think it’s an improvement
for GPSA, for ASUNM and for the
campus and student organizations
that will be served,” she said. “I
think this is a win-win-win. The
representation … provides ASUNM
the representation they need, but
needing six out of seven votes (to
increase or decrease student fees)
protects the minority rights of
GPSA.”
It currently takes a majority of
four votes of the board to increase
or decrease fees on the seven member board. The board unanimously

Letter from Washington, D.C.
Barbara J. Wien, former program officer
and conflict resolution trainer for the U.S.
Institute of Peace and co-director of Peace
Brigades International wrote a letter to UNM
President David Schmidly condemning his
decision to kick protesters out of Yale Park.
“I find your conduct most undignified and
not befitting the Office of the President,” Wien
wrote. “I am writing to urge you to cease and
desist your Gestapo tactics and repression
against protesters who are merely exercising

their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights to assembly and free speech.”
Wien said legal repercussions that could
occur as a result of Schmidly’s decision may
prove costly to the University.
“Many eyes are upon you now,” she said. “I
hope you have the capacity to look into your
heart and soul and reverse the errors of your
ways.”
Schmidly has not made a public response
to the letter.

UNM offers compromise
Protesters continued to hold their nightly
general assembly meetings on a corner of Yale
Park and the sidewalk next to westbound Central Avenue this weekend, despite the ongoing
presence of UNM Police Department officers.
University administrators offered a compromise Friday night that would re-open Yale
Park, but only during specific hours.
The compromise would open the park from

Student and almunus protesters go
on hunger strike
At least three protesters are on hunger
strike in an effort to convince UNM President
David Schmidly to talk to them.
UNM alumnus Sebastian Pais has been on
hunger strike for nearly a week, and students
Kristen Gandy and Brittany Arneson joined
the strike.
(un)Occupy protesters have started a petition in conjunction with the hunger strike,
which had 444 signatures as of Sunday

voted to require six out of seven
votes for a fee change.
Graduate students contribute
about 22 percent of UNM’s student
fees, and will make up roughly 28.5
percent of the board, down from
the current 43 percent. The board’s
chair position switches between

an ASUNM or GPSA representative
each year.
Roybal said SFRB is one of the
ways student voices can be heard
most strongly at the administrative
level.
“I believe the Student Fee Review
Board is one of the most important

boards at UNM, as it allows students
to have a voice in how their money
is being spent,” she said. “I am
looking forward to the process this
year, and I hope to receive great
input from undergraduate students
as to where they feel their fees are
best spent.”

“My country survived half a century of dictators. During those many
years, freedom of speech and assembly were severely curtailed. I expect the U.S. to be a nation that respects and honors this top priority

Fewer free seats for students
Lobo basketball ticket distribution
starts today, but students can only
pick up two tickets per game this year
instead of the four like last year.
Also, seating is general admission
instead of assigned seating.
The changes are the result of an
ASUNM resolution that stemmed
from online feedback from students,
said Adrian Cortinas, ASUNM vice
president.
He said students overwhelmingly
suggested general admission so they
can sit with their friends at basketball
games.
“Since it’s general admission, you
can sit wherever you want … and
hopefully enjoy the game,” he said.
Cortinas said he drafted the

resolution last spring after hearing about how few students attended basketball games.
“There was some concern
from students that I’d heard, like,
‘We just did this whole new stadium, we have a great team. Why is
our student section not filled to
capacity?’” he said.
Cortinas said the problem was
with students keeping tickets for
games they didn’t attend.
“(Students) don’t plan a
month ahead,” he said. “Maybe
a month from the time you get
your ticket for that third game,
you forget that you have a test the
next day … now you’re stuck with
a ticket that someone else could
have had.”
Tickets are available on
Mondays of each game week

ATCHISON, Kan. — Crews
suspended their search Sunday
for three people missing after a
thunderous explosion at a Kansas
grain elevator Saturday night killed
three workers and hospitalized
two others with severe burns.
The blast, which shook the
ground so hard that it was felt
into neighboring Missouri, is a
harrowing reminder of the dangers workers face inside elevators
brimming with highly combustible grain dust at the end of the
harvest season.
The explosion at the elevator
in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City, sent an orange fireball into the night sky,
shot off a chunk of the grain distribution building directly above
the elevator and blew a large hole
in the side of one of its concrete
silos.
Officials with Bartlett Grain
Co., which owns and operates the
elevator, decided to temporarily
halt the search for the three missing people — one worker and two
grain inspectors — because it was
unsafe to be inside the facility,
said Atchison City Manager Trey
Cocking. Smoke could still be
seen billowing from the top, and
officials were fearful the building
could fall on top of rescue crews.
Heavy equipment, federal
safety investigators and engineers
were expected to arrive later
Sunday to assist the crews.
“It’s a fairly dangerous situation. We don’t feel comfortable
putting fire crews in,” Cocking
said.
He said crews had not given
up hope that they would find the
remaining three alive, although
the search was now considered

a recovery effort. The victims’
names had not been released
by Bartlett Grain as of Sunday
evening.
One of the missing is Travis Keil, a war veteran who had
served as a site inspector for 16
years. His parents, Gary and Ramona Keil, drove from Salina to
Atchison to wait with his three
children — ages 8, 12 and 15 — as
crews searched.
“We have all our prayers working for him,” Gary Keil said. “It’s
a parent’s worst nightmare to go
through this.”
Bartlett Grain President Bill
Fellows said in a statement that
workers were loading a train
with corn when the explosion occurred, but the cause was not immediately known.
Over the past four decades,
there have been more than 600
explosions at grain elevators, killing more than 250 people and injuring more than 1,000, according
to the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration. Just last
year, there were grain explosions
or fires in several states including
Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, South
Dakota and Louisiana. None were
fatal, but several sent workers
scrambling, and one in Toledo,
Ohio in September 2010 forced
people to evacuate from a nearby
mobile home park.
When grain is handled at elevators, it creates dust that floats
around inside the storage facility.
The finer the grain dust’s particles,
the greater its volatility. Typically,
something — perhaps sparks from
equipment or a cigarette — ignites
the dust, which sends a pressure
wave that detonates the rest of the
floating dust in the facility.
Fireballs are a common feature
of grain dust explosions, where
intense heat from the blast can

starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Lobo

student tickets are available to

“The changes in our student
ticket policy at basketball reflect
a collaborative effort with our
students and student leaders,”
UNM Associate Athletic Director
Brad Hutchins said in the message. “We will continue to monitor and evaluate how our tickets
are distributed and continue to
solicit advice from the student
community to make sure we are

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS:
Students protested the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain, which has a location in the
SUB, last week because it allegedly supports anti-gay rights groups. In this light,
do you think UNM should kick Chick-fil-A
off campus?
No. Homosexuality is an abomination
and I’m pleased Chick-fil-A supports
these groups.

8%

No. Companies should not be discriminated against based on their political 40%
opinions.
Yes. A company that funds hate groups 44%
has no place at a public university.

9%

I’m indifferent.
Out of 197 responses

THIS WEEK’S POLL:
Last week, UNM Administration decided
to no longer allow (un) Occupy Albuquerque protesters to assemble on campus.
Administrators said protesters were violating University policy; protesters said
that to ban the movement is a violation
of the First Amendment. Do you think
the administration was right to ban the
protesters?
Yes. The protesters were interfering with others’
rights to learn on campus, so they should have
been banned.
No. The First Amendment trumps any policy the
University has in place, and the protesters were
not interfering with others’ rights on campus.
I don’t know and I don’t care.

Memories of UNM torn
down with buildings
Editor,
My wife and I visited UNM campus this
past week for the first time in more than 40
years. We were able to find De Vargas and
Laguna dorms, where we were residents back
when De Vargas was men and Laguna was
women. We also visited La Posada café; it was
a great trip down memory lane.
I was disappointed when the cashier lady
told us that plans were under way to tear
down La Posada. Memories will be torn down.
I was also drawn back to the time I was there
and the campus was shut down. We got married during the shutdown. I can still hear the
shouts from below imploring me to stand up
and be counted, still reducing me to tears.

Grads need funding to
ease burden of studies
Editor,
As news comes from Washington, D.C.
about ongoing regulatory changes impacting
student loan and debt management, graduate and professional students may be wondering where that leaves them.
On Wednesday, Oct. 26, the Daily Lobo
reported on new legislation sponsored by the
Obama administration that will, if passed,
impact regulations for student loans. The
proposed policies aim to benefit students
through changes including caps on monthly
payments and loan consolidation options.
We hope that federal and state policies
will continue to prioritize educational

Vet. alumnus: Schmidly
enemy of free speech
Editor,
One of the many troubling aspects of
service in Iraq was identifying the enemy.
Who was the enemy? Quite frankly, it was
impossible to tell.
Some of the people I broke bread with
by day were likely engaging us at night. We
wore our smiles thinly, never knowing who
we were really looking at or speaking to.
My military service to this country is
now in the past, but I have since become
engaged in another conflict; a conflict in
which, just as in war, there are friends and
there are enemies.
I pointed out in a previous article that
it is the sworn obligation of every veteran
and service member to support and defend

endeavors. Unfortunately, graduate and
professional students are still impacted
by this year’s Budget Control Act, which
eliminated subsidized Stafford loans for
graduate students effective July 1, 2012.
Subsidized loans do not charge interest
until a student graduates. The remaining
option — unsubsidized Stafford loans —
accumulates interest while the student
is still enrolled in school, resulting in an
increased debt burden.
If the average loan size is about $7,400
over the course of four years, a student receiving annual loans at a 6.8 percent interest
rate will owe $5,000 more than the student
would have if the loan had been subsidized
with interest deferred. In this economic climate, students may not be able to pay off
this loan immediately upon graduation, in
which case the cost of receiving a UNM degree is now even higher. UNM graduate and

professional students took out over $20 million in subsidized loans in the 2010-2011
academic year alone. Nationally, despite
the relatively low cost of tuition, New Mexico boasts one of the highest rates of student
debt.
GPSA calls on UNM, private donors and
the state of New Mexico to provide more assistantships and scholarships for graduate
and professional students to make up for
this loss. Graduate and professional students
provide essential services to the University
through assistantships, research and support
for the core academic mission of the University. Ensuring that attending graduate school
is not an undue financial hardship must be a
priority as UNM moves forward during economically uncertain times.

the Constitution against all enemies, both
foreign and domestic. We swore this oath
at least once over the course of our military careers.
Given the relative confusion of identifying enemies in Iraq, you may be able to
appreciate the relief with which, as your
campus police obstruct and intimidate my
fellow Americans, violating our rights to
free assembly, I can gesture towards your
office calmly and say: There’s one there,
peeping out from behind the blinds.
By targeting supporters of the Occupy
Wall Street movement from being able to
assemble on your campus, as a state university paid for by tax dollars, you have drawn
a line in the sand — but with a crayon.
As a graduate of the University of New
Mexico School of Law, I am sure that your
actions will be overturned in court, and that
OWS supporters will be allowed once again
to assemble freely on University grounds.
But that is not good enough. That is why

I am writing you now: To assail you, to enjoin others to assail you, and to make it
clear that you have dishonored your presidency and have no place at the head of any
university, great or small. OWS is a peaceful movement with no history of violence.
Despite your actions we remain peaceful and will continue to conduct ourselves
peacefully.
But know that you have been identified for what you are — a villain. What was
once an institution standing for the free exchange of ideas now stands for the silencing of them. If you but crept out of your office at 6 p.m. to visit Yale Park, you would
be able to see how low you have brought
this University and this community. If your
ballot were before me, you can be sure I
would vote as your faculty did two years
ago: No confidence.

Explosion

reach 1,500 to 2,000 degrees.
Dust from corn is among
the most dangerous. Most
dust explosions happen in late
summer and early fall when old,
dried grain is being cleaned out
of elevators in preparation for the
harvest. Freshly harvested corn is
less explosive because it’s wetter.
The Atchison elevator, which
is federally licensed to handle up
to 1.18 billion bushels, is among
roughly 850 elevators in Kansas.
The state is now winding up its
fall harvest of corn, sorghum and
soybeans.
OSHA has expanded its
inspections and efforts to control
volatile grain dust in Kansas
elevators since an explosion in
1998 that killed seven workers
and injured 10 others at DeBruce
Grain, Inc.’s facility in Haysville,
said Tom Tunnell, executive
director of the Kansas Grain and
Feed Association, the industry
group representing Kansas grain
elevators.
He said the industry as a whole
has increased awareness of the
dangers since a number of elevator explosions along the Gulf of

Mexico in the 1970s.
“If ever an industry is welltrained, it is ours,” Tunnell said.
“We understand dust is an explosive agent and our members work
hard to control it.”
The Atchison facility where
the blast occurred has not been
cited for any violations in the last
10 years, according to OSHA data,
though Bartlett Grain Co. was cited after two people died in separate incidents at two of its other
facilities. Neither of those fatalities involved explosions at grain
elevators.
In 2007, a Bartlett Grain maintenance employee died in a fall
from a work platform at the company’s facility in St. Joseph, Mo.
In 2004, another employee died
while operating a lift that fell
backward at a company site in
Kansas City, Mo.
“The industry has had a good
record — except for a few of this
type — considering the billions
and billions of bushels of grain
handled,” Tunnell said.
The two people injured in
the explosion were taken to the
burn unit at University of Kansas

Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.,
hospital
spokesman
Dennis
McCulloch said. One was listed in
critical condition Sunday evening
and the other was in serious
condition, he said.
Cocking said four other people,
including one woman, escaped
without injuries. No names are to
be released pending notification
of families.
Paul Moccia, 57, who lives
about a half mile from the grain
elevator, said the explosion shook
his house and lights flickered
across his neighborhood for about
30 seconds.
“It was extremely loud,” said
Moccia. “It was kind of like to
me a double whomp — a ‘bomp
bomp.’ It reverberated, and kind of
echoed down through the valley.
… kind of like a shockwave, Everybody came outside; neighbors
were trying to figure out what was
going on. It was quite a thump.”

weapons, plans that are being met
with resistance from some opposition lawmakers and representatives of Germany’s powerful police
force, which worries such changes
could lead to an overall easing of
the nation’s strict weapons laws.
The
U.N.
International
Maritime Organization issued
guidance in May on the use of
armed guards, warning that there
had been 489 acts of piracy or
armed robbery against ships in
2010, an increase on the previous
year.
Some maritime groups and insurers have opposed arming ships
because of liability issues, and
over fears that to do so could provoke an arms race with pirates.
Other skeptics have worried that
if ships from wealthy companies
hire expensive security crews,
hostage-takers will simply switch
focus to softer targets.
Earlier
this
month,
the
International
Chamber
of
Shipping urged nations to take
additional military action to
combat piracy.
“Private armed guards do not
represent a long-term solution,”
the
organization’s
chairman
Spyros Polemis said. “Rather, their
use actually signifies a failure
on the part of the international
community
—
and
those
governments with significant
military forces — to ensure the
security of maritime trade …
Governments don’t like it when
we say this, but the reality is that
they have ceded control of the
Indian Ocean to the pirates.”
Figures released earlier this
month by the EU Naval Force
show that pirates hold nine ships
and an estimated 246 hostages. In
February, pirates killed a Filipino crewman aboard the Germanowned MV Beluga Nomination.

British ships get guards
The Associated Press
LONDON — Ships sailing under
Britain’s flag will be permitted
to carry armed guards on some
perilous routes to combat the
threat from pirates, Prime Minister
David Cameron said Sunday.
Cameron said Britain was
reversing its opposition to the use
of weapons aboard ships amid
mounting concern about the risks
of vessels and crew being seized
by pirates — particularly off
Somalia’s coast.
Cameron’s office said the use
of weapons on British-flagged
ships is banned under firearms
laws, but that new rules would be
in place within a month.
Britain’s
announcement
follows the decision made in
February by the International
Chamber of Shipping, the major
trade association of ship owners,
to support members hiring private
security companies to provide
protection.
“The evidence is that ships with
armed guards don’t get attacked,
don’t get taken for hostages or
for ransom, and so we think this
is a very important step forward,”
Cameron told BBC television
during a visit to a Commonwealth
summit in Australia, where he
discussed the issue with leaders
from the Republics of Seychelles
and Mauritius.
Cameron said Britain’s interior
ministry would issue licenses authorizing the use of armed guards
for ships operating off East Africa’s
coast, in other parts of the Indian
Ocean and in the Arabian Sea.
He said the change is intended
for commercial vessels, rather
than leisure sailors such as Paul
and Rachel Chandler, the British
couple held for 388 days by Somali
pirates.
“The extent of the hijack and
ransom of ships around the Horn

~David Cameron
UK prime minister
of Africa, I think, is a complete
stain on our world,” Cameron told
the BBC. “The fact that a bunch of
pirates in Somalia are managing
to hold to ransom the rest of the
world and our trading system is a
complete insult.”
Many nations, including Britain
and Germany, had previously
been nervous over the use of
armed guards, and Cameron did
not elaborate on what rules would
apply on the use of lethal force by
private security contractors.
“Piracy is a very serious
problem and it’s sensible to allow
ships to take the appropriate
measures to protect their crew
and cargo,” Justine Greening,
Britain’s transport secretary, said
in a statement. “The U.K. will
allow the use of private armed
security guards on our ships in
exceptional circumstances and
where it is lawful to do so.”
In Germany, ship owners have
pressured lawmakers to change
the nation’s weapons laws to allow German ships to carry armed
guards. Under current laws, the
captains are required to apply
individually for the right to carry arms, but would only be able
to use them under restrictive
circumstances.
Lawmakers are debating how
legislation could be changed to
allow for ships to routinely carry

After a 42-0 defeat Saturday for its
eighth consecutive loss, the Lobo football team still has nothing to be happy
about, running back Crusoe Gongbay
said.
“Everybody’s mad,” he said. “We’re
mad like that after every game.”
Despite being shut out for the second week in a row, interim head coach
George Barlow said his team gave a
good effort.
“It’s not the result we wanted,” he
said. “I thought the effort was better.
A lot of the stuff that happened we did
to ourselves — the penalties, the turnovers. I thought the kids kept fighting.
They were doing things to try to stay in
the game.”
The Falcons racked up 335 yards
on the ground and a mere 26 yards
through the air. They only attempted
three passes, all of which came in the
first half.
Falcon quarterback Connor Dietz,
who came into the game after starting

“Everybody’s mad.
We’re mad like that
after every game.”
~Crusoe Gongbay
running back

quarterback Tim Jefferson was injured
in the first half, led the team with 87
rushing yards. The Falcons had four
players with 42 rushing yards or more.
Air Force’s running attack wasn’t
the only thing that hurt the Lobos on
Saturday. UNM committed 10 penalties for a total of 67 yards, seven of
which were committed in the first half.
The longest pass play of the game
for UNM went only 13 yards, and the
team only made two trips to the red
zone. It couldn’t capitalize on a scoring opportunity by missing two field
goals.
Linebacker Carmen Messina
led the team in tackles on Saturday
with 15,but he said the Lobos are

running out of time to win.
“It’s nothing to be happy about,”
Messina said. “It’s nothing to be laughing about. It’s definitely frustrating. We
only have a few more opportunities left
to get this thing rolling.”
Getting that first win of the season
would be huge for the morale of the
team, and the Lobos have not given up
hope, Barlow said.
“I think the kids still have some fight
in them, and I’m going to keep coaching them as long as they keep fighting,”
he said.
The Lobos are set to play against
San Diego State, Wyoming, UNLV and
end the season against Boise State, the
No. 5 team in the nation. The game
against UNLV will be the only one in
which the Lobos will have a homefield advantage.
Messina said his spirit is still high
despite the losses.
“Give up? I don’t know what that
word means,” he said. “It’s not in my
dictionary. Every time I step on the
field, I want to win.”

The UNM volleyball team won its
third straight game, which stands in
contrast to its four-game losing streak
earlier this month.
Head coach Jeff Nelson said some
of that improvement is thanks to
senior Kelly Williamson.
“Part of the reason we’re doing a
lot better is Kelly Williamson is playing
significantly better ball right now than
she was earlier in the season,” Nelson
said.
The Lobos won in eight straight
sets for the third game in a row,
beating Air Force 25-15, 25-17, 25-17
on Saturday for “Think Pink” night at
Johnson Center.
“We knew we could come out
if we wanted to and just pummel
them,” Williamson said. “So that
was the game plan, and I think we

implemented it pretty well.”
UNM started the match with
an early 7-0 run and outplayed the
Falcons offensively and defensively to
take the first set.
In set two, the Falcons jumped
out to a 10-5 lead. Allison Buck
then served the Lobos to a 14-0 run,
including four aces, to put the Lobos
in position to close out the set. Buck
finished with five aces to go along
with 22 digs.
Offensively, Ashley Rhoades led
the team with 17 kills and a .379
hitting percentage.
Mariah Agre led the team in assists
with 30.
Throughout the season, head
coach Jeff Nelson has been critical of
the outside-hitting position, especially
Williamson’s play.
Williamson did her part in the
match, finishing with 10 kills and a
.300 hitting percentage.

scoring on back-to-back corner
kicks, but they could not find the
goal.
With three minutes, midfielder
Michael Green got past the back of
Venter’s pass.
Green played in a corner kick
to the far post, then Venter headed
back across goal and through a
group of players, and Rossi popped
up to head in the game winner.
The goal was Rossi’s second of
the year. He said it was a team goal.

“It was great service in,” he said.
“Green played the ball in and Kyle
faded off the back post and played it
back across, and I just had to do the
easy part and get my head on it.”
Rossi said it’s the team-play
games like this one that have kept
UNM’s undefeated streak alive.
“It was a team effort,” he said, “I
am happy that I could be a part of
it. I am the one that scored it, but
everyone played great today and I
am happy with the effort.”

Lobos a 7-1 win over the Horned
Frogs.
Jenks said she thought TCU
started to crack during the second
half, and that was a key reason why
the Lobos were able to score so
much.
“I think they kind of started falling
apart a little bit. Their defense started
breaking up and we just had heart
the whole game and attitude the
whole game and it worked for us,”
Jenks said.

With the win, the Lobos have a
first-round bye in the MWC tournament next week in Albuquerque.
Jenks said she’s looking forward to the
tournament and knows that the team
will have to keep the same intensity if it
wants to come out on top.
“I think we just need to have the
same attitude that we have right now:
that we’re going to be Mountain West
Conference Tournament Champions,
and not just champions of the regular
season,” she said.

She said she’s been trying different
things to improve her game.
“I’ve been working a lot with
(Agre)” Williamson said. “She’s
been setting me the ball a lot
higher so I have time to get my feet
there and have a better look at the
blocker.”
As a team, the Lobos’ offense
finished with 35 kills and 10 aces. The
Falcons had 24 kills to go along with
two aces.
Defensively, UNM had 55 digs and
seven blocks, compared to 33 digs
and seven blocks for Air Force.
With four games left before the
conference tournament, Nelson said
the Lobos are starting to play the way
they envisioned before the season
started.
“This is what we should have been
doing all year,” he said. “I’m happy
that we’re finding a little spark right
now.”

opportunity for learning and personal
growth. Imagine how your personal
hero or idol would have behaved in
your shoes, and model yourself as
the figure of strength you’re capable
of being.

Tricks or Treats? You decide.
Capricorn—A major conflict in

your life has finally been resolved.
The gloomy mood it has left you
in will dissipate by midweek when
optimistic Sagittarian influences come
into play. Though you’ll be tempted
to over-indulge in creature comforts
as compensation for the passing
turbulence, the conditions are more
conducive to learning experiences on
a grand scale. Forget being realistic,
for now, and take care of laying out
the big picture.

Aquarius—You’ve probably been

feeling an unfounded agitation
that’s created tension in your social
network. Wednesday, you’ll wake
with a renewed sense of possibility.
Your spirits will lift, taking your mind
up and away with them, elevating
your thoughts above petty, earthly
concerns. It’s not that your problems
are resolved, they simply become
irrelevant. You seek a trove a universal
truths and are better equipped to enjoy
the path without worrying about what
lies ahead.

Pisces—Immerse yourself in hard
labor to meet the whole week’s
demands before Wednesday—any
non-leisure pursuits will be like
pulling teeth beyond that point.
Not that you’re feeling lazy. Your
mind will do all it can to escape any
confines.This is a time for mind
expansion, so do what you can to
facilitate limitless living through the
weekend.
Aries—Lately, you may have

chafed you social support system by
demanding more than your fair take.
This is because they recognize your
failure to tap into your own resources.
It’s not that you don’t recognize your
own potential to innovate; you’re
avoiding the initial move to commit
to a plan and see it through to the end.

If you can’t decide, someone will do
it for you. Take the reigns back and
steer—it’s a matter of changing your
mindset.

Taurus—The new moon opened the

floodgates, leaving you with what
appears to be wreckage. You perceive
this as another task when destruction
is an opportunity for creation. Rather
than sulk over the mess, let your inner
child loose to explore the wasteland.
The physical reality won’t change, yet
the problem is solved. It’s all yours for
the taking, and there is no endpoint
or goal.

Gemini—The new moon last week

was, for you, a waterslide. In the
pool, it seems the fun is over. Without
the rush it’s easy for you to become
bored and restless, and you might
become more inclined to seek artificial
means of imitating these kinds of
experiences. However, exploring
alternative recreation provides a
richer experience that will satisfy
your cravings rather than leaving you
hungry for more and more.

Cancer—Scorpio auspices in the

past few weeks have compelled, even
forced, you outside your comfort
zone. It’s not yet time to return, as
you’re still collecting the experiences
you need to make a significant
change, be it career, education or
home related. However, adventurous
Sagittarius will give you the drive you
need to do so on Wednesday, carrying
you there and back home in the next
couple of weeks.

Leo—It’s easy to feel like a victim
when circumstances are beyond
your control. Even though the storm
has more or less passed, you would
be wise to deeply reflect on this
experience. More than a cosmic
instance of sadistic prankery, this is an

Virgo—You choose routine because

it affords you peace of mind. At this
point, you’re in a pit of complacency
which will surely ripen to stagnation.
This is a greater threat to your peace
of mind, so consider the proper
precautions. I suggest a more drastic
plan, even though caution might be
more your style. It’s exhilarating to
see how far the ripples extend—as the
source of disorder you are in control
of the action, your favorite position.

Libra—After an emotional beating

this week, you need a reprieve.
Because you are a social butterfly,
you need people to accomplish this,
but recent events have calloused
your interactions with others. I
recommend some reckless behavior
with your favorite folks. Work out the
resentment, anger and frustration in
a wild, even violent fashion to soften
the edge. This allows you to retain a
sense of fortitude without alienating
yourself to people.

Scorpio—The last week squeezed
out all you had to offer. A flattened
toothpaste tube, you start the week in
a bin, rejected and used. Wednesday,
the cosmos take out the trash where
you find you’re not the only one that’s
been thoroughly used with nothing to
show for it. Forget what has transpired
and revel with you new friends. As for
the users, they’ll get theirs when the
landfills eventually smother them.
Sagittarius—The last few weeks

have been an experience akin to
seeing a freak show without prior
knowledge of such a thing. You’re
fascinated, but at the same time
disgusted at the way certain people are
treated in society. The experience has
been emotional, and you feel you’re
the only one who sympathizes. This
week, you’ll get the chance to bond
with these people and find they’re
not so different from everyone else.
Learn from the way they deal with the
nastier folks in the world.

LOBO MEN’S SOCCER

Just
can’t
stop
winning
Another win and MWC title
after beating San Jose State
by Nathan Farmer

sports@dailylobo.com

Blake Smith, no. 23, dribbles past a San Jose State defender Sunday at University Stadium. The Lobos won the game 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Levi Rossi.

Gabriela Ventola / Daily Lobo

The No. 2 men’s soccer team
didn’t finish its game until late
in the second half, but it kept its
undefeated streak alive.
UNM’s Levi Rossi popped up at
the back post to header into an open
net with less than three minutes left
in the second. The goal gave the
Lobos a 1-0 win over San Jose State
on Sunday, to take the team to 150-2.
Head coach Jeremy Fishbein
said he knew his team was going to
eventually put one in the back of the
net.
“You felt it was coming,” he said.
“We played well, we had control
of the game and I was happy with
it. These are going to be tough
games. I thought it was a very good
performance.”
UNM had already wrapped up the
Mountain Pacific Sports Federation
regular-season title on Friday, when
it beat Sacramento State 2-0, but the
Lobos were still looking to continue
their undefeated streak.
San Jose State rarely tested UNM
goalkeeper Victor Rodriguez, forcing
him into only three saves.
However, Fishbein said that
it was difficult to break down the
other team’s defense, which held
the Lobos back.
“Games aren’t going to be easy,”
he said. “This is a good team we
played; this is a team that is winning
games. They sat in a little bit and
looked to play against us on the
counter and we dealt with it.”
In the second half, most of the
game was played in the Lobos’
offensive third, but they could not
find the right pass to break down the
Spartans’ defense.

LOBO WOMEN’S SOCCER

TCU crumbles in second half
by Thomas Romero-Salas

TCU couldn’t survive a five-goal
onslaught from the women’s soccer
team, to the Lobos’ disappointment,
said defender Zaneta Wyne.
“The first half they came out really
hard,” she said. “We just kept going
at them and we finally broke them
down a little bit and got some goals
in. It just seems like, in the second
half, they fell apart a little bit. It’s a
bummer.”
The women’s team finished the
night with a 7-1 victory and nabbed
its second Mountain West conference
title.
Head coach Kit Vela said she
thought it was a great way to send
off the senior class, which includes
Wyne, Amanda Collins, Roxie
McFarland, Jael Fanning, Jennifer

Williams, and Gianna Cavuoto.
“This senior class deserves it,”
Vela said. “They’ve been everything
to the program for the last four years,
so kudos to them. They deserve
everything they got tonight.”
Wyne shot over the keeper to
score the first goal for the Lobos just
3:37 into the contest after receiving a
pass from Fanning.
TCU was able to answer quickly,
with Jordan Calhoun’s score in the
fifth tying it at 1-1.
Before the half was over,
forward Jennifer Williams beat a
defender and the keeper to score
with 10 minutes left in the first
half to give the Lobos a 2-1 lead
at halftime.
Vela said she thought the first half
was a battle between the two teams,
but the second half was a completely
different story.

“It’s awesome,” she said. “They have
heart and soul and a lot of character.
We had some good opportunities
early on, then we scored one and gave
up one and it went back and forth.
Then the flood gates opened up after
that; it was fun to watch.”
Junior Natalie Jenks started the
second-half scoring streak off by
beating the goalie one-on-one for
a 3-1 lead just 4:17 into the second
half.
Fanning followed with the next
goal, and Williams scored less than
a minute later, bumping up the score
to 5-1 in the Lobos’ favor. Williams’
goals were her 11th and 12th of the
season.
Stephanie Rowe and Brianna
Webster added two more goals with
less than 11 minutes left to give the
